"Sin" is commonly defined only in reference to a particular imaginary
being. This being shows no sign of existence, other than as part of
certain belief systems. Only believers can sin, since the word is
undefined for others.



You can also "do wrong" to your yourself or others...it doesn't require your "belief system" theory.


Of course there's "do wrong". Do you consider "sin" to mean "Do wrong"?
Many do not. I said nothing about doing wrong, but about one particular
definition of "sin", which doesn't correspond to anything in the real world.
